## Short answer

Prometheus Planning & Scheduling gives maintenance planners a graphical way to build work packages and schedules on top of SAP Plant Maintenance work orders. It is listed as an SAP Endorsed App with SAP-certified integration for S/4HANA, and also supports SAP ECC and RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP PM stays the system of record, Prometheus is the planning workspace.

Prometheus Planning & Scheduling for SAP

## Vendor

Prometheus Group

## Category

EAM

## Integration

**Method:** SAP Certified integration and Endorsed App

**Detail:** Prometheus reads PM orders, operations, components, notifications and equipment from SAP and writes scheduling results (dates, assignments, work package grouping) back to the work orders. The vendor lists SAP-certified integration with S/4HANA; confirm the exact interface scope and any required add-ons for your release.

## Data Flows

**From:** SAP PM

**To:** Prometheus

**Data:** Work orders, operations, planned hours, components, notifications, equipment and functional locations

**Trigger:** Order creation or change, scheduled refresh

**From:** Prometheus

**To:** SAP PM

**Data:** Scheduled start and finish dates, work center and crew assignments

**Trigger:** Planner commits a schedule or work package

**From:** SAP PM

**To:** Prometheus

**Data:** Material reservation and availability status

**Trigger:** Refresh before scheduling meeting

**From:** SAP PM

**To:** Prometheus

**Data:** Order status and confirmations from the field

**Trigger:** Technical completion or time confirmation

## Setup

### Confirm SAP release and PM data quality

**Detail:** Check that operations carry realistic planned hours and work centers. Scheduling on empty estimates gives nothing useful.

### Install and configure the SAP-side components

**Detail:** Follow the vendor guide for transports and authorizations, in a development system first.

### Create the integration user

**Detail:** Grant only the PM display and change authorizations needed for scheduling fields.

### Map work centers, planner groups and plants

**Detail:** Align SAP planning plants, planner groups and work centers with the crews and areas planners schedule.

### Define the weekly scheduling process

**Detail:** Decide when work packages are built, frozen and released, and who may change dates in SAP directly.

### Pilot one area, then expand

**Detail:** Run a full weekly cycle on one plant area and compare schedule compliance before adding others.

## Pitfalls

- Missing or placeholder planned hours on operations, which makes capacity views misleading.
- Material not available at schedule time because reservations or purchase requisitions lag the work order.
- Planners changing dates directly in SAP while Prometheus holds a different committed schedule.
- User status and system status combinations in SAP blocking the write-back of scheduling data.
- Multiple plants or planner groups with inconsistent work center naming.

## Ai Layer

### Backlog and readiness questions

**Description:** Ask which orders next week are missing parts, permits or hours, answered from SAP PM data and the scheduling workspace without exporting it.

### Schedule slip explanation

**Description:** Compare committed schedule against confirmations and explain why work slipped, such as parts delays or reassigned crews, with the supporting records.

### Order quality review

**Description:** Scan new work orders for missing operations, unrealistic hours or vague descriptions and draft corrections for the planner to approve.

## Alternatives

- Native SAP planning boards for PM, if your maintenance volume and scheduling complexity are modest.
- A spreadsheet or Gantt tool fed by SAP exports for small teams, with the cost of manual sync.
- SAP Asset Performance Management or other SAP maintenance scheduling offerings, if you want to stay with SAP products.

## Faq

### Does it replace SAP Plant Maintenance?

**Answer:** No. SAP PM remains the system of record for orders, notifications and costs. Prometheus Planning and Scheduling adds a graphical planning and work package layer on top and writes scheduling results back to the SAP work orders.

### Which SAP versions are supported?

**Answer:** The vendor lists SAP S/4HANA with SAP-certified integration, plus SAP ECC and RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Always confirm the exact release, enhancement pack and any required SAP-side components with Prometheus Group before scoping.

### Can AI help without sending maintenance data out?

**Answer:** Yes. A private assistant running on your own servers can read SAP PM and scheduling data to answer readiness questions and draft work order fixes, with a planner approving any change before it is written back.
